Continuous Gas Analyzers, in-situ

LDS 6
General information
Overview
LDS 6 is a diode laser gas analyzer with a measuring principle
based on the specific light absorption of different gas components. LDS 6 is suitable for fast and non-contact measurement
of gas concentrations or temperatures in process or flue gases.
One or two signals from up to three measuring points are processed simultaneously by one central analyzer unit. The in-situ
cross-duct sensors at each measuring point can be separated
up to 700 m from the central unit by using fiber-optic cables. The
sensors are designed for operation under harsh environmental
conditions and contain a minimum of electrical components.

General information
Cross-duct sensors
Parts in contact with the process gases

The sensors normally do not come into contact with the process
gas, since purging with a gaseous media is applied at the process side. Stainless steel purging gas tubes in front of the sensor
windows immerse slightly into the process gas and thus limit the
purging volume. Special materials such as Hastelloy, plastics
(PP) and ceramics are available on request.
Hybrid and sensor cables
A combination of fiber-optic cables and twisted copper wires
connects the sensors to the central unit. The hybrid cable connects the central unit with the transmitter unit of the sensor, the
sensor cable connects the transmitter and receiver units of the
sensor.

LDS 6
General information
Function
Operating principle
LDS 6 is a gas analyzer employing single-line molecular absorption spectroscopy. A diode laser emits a beam of near-infrared
light, which passes through the process gas and is detected by
a receiver unit. The wavelength of the laser diode output is tuned
to a gas-specific absorption line. The laser continuously scans
this single absorption line with a very high spectral resolution.
Central unit
The result is a fully resolved single molecular line which is analyzed in terms of absorption strength and line shape. The influence of cross-sensitivities on the measurement is negligible,
since the quasi-monochromatic laser light is absorbed very selectively by only one specific molecular line in the scanned
spectral range.

Basic design of the LDS 6
Configuration examples:
A feature of the in-situ analytical procedure is that the physical
measurement takes place directly in the stream of process gas,
and usually also directly in the actual process gas line. All process parameters such as gas matrix, pressure, temperature,
moisture, dust load, flow velocity and mounting orientation can
influence the measuring properties of the LDS 6 and must therefore be systematically investigated for each new application.
A feature of the standard applications defined in the ordering
data of the LDS 6 is that the typical process conditions are wellknown and documented, and that the guaranteed measuring
properties can be proven by reference installations. If you cannot find your application among the standard applications, please contact Siemens. We will be pleased to check your possible
individual application of the LDS 6. You can find an application
questionnaire on the LDS product sites on the Internet.

LDS 6
General information
The LDS 6 can measure in both the transverse and longitudinal
directions of the process gas flow. In certain cases, the process
conditions make it necessary to condition the sample gas
stream in a bypass line with respect to process temperature,
pressure and/or optical path length. Further treatment of the process gas, such as drying or dust precipitation, is usually unnecessary.
In some specific cases, two components can be measured simultaneously if their absorption lines are so close to each other
that they can be detected within the laser spectrum by one single scan (for example water (H2O) and ammonia (NH3)).

Measuring configuration of LDS 6 with heated flow cell
General
LDS 6 is connected to the measuring points by fiber optics. The
laser light is guided by a single-mode fiber from the central unit
to the transmitter unit of the in-situ sensor. The sensor consists of
a transmitter and a receiver; the distance between them defines
the measurement path. In the receiver box, the light is focused
onto a suitable detector. The detector signal is then converted
into an optical signal and transmitted via a second optical fiber
to the central unit, where the concentration of the gas component is determined from the detected absorption signal.
LDS 6 usually measures a single gas component by means of
the absorption capacity of a single fully resolved molecular absorption line. The absorption results from conversion of the radiation energy of the laser light into the internal energy of the molecule. In the working range of the LDS 6, both rotation-vibration
transitions and electronic transitions - such as with O2 - can be
triggered.

A flow cell is available by special application for the LDS 6 which

has been specially optimized for use with the LDS 6 and its
transmitted-light sensors with respect to handling and measuring performance. It is designed to reduce surface effects, and
is therefore also highly suitable for polar gases like ammonia.
This flow cell is available in heated and non-heated versions.
Wheel mounted and wall mounted versions are available.

Absorption spectra of water and ammonia
Moreover, in some applications it is possible to determine the

gas temperature as a measured value. In this case, the ratio of
the absorbance of two characteristic lines of the same molecule
measured at the same time in the same volume gives the actual
temperature in the process gas.
Typical measurable gases for LDS 6 are:
Oxygen (O2) for low and high pressure
Oxygen + temperature
Hydrogen fluoride (HF) + water
Hydrogen chloride (HCl) + water
Ammonia (NH3) + water
Water vapor (H2O)
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
CO + CO2
By using an internal reference cell normally filled with the gas
measured, the stability of the spectrometer is permanently checked in a reference channel.
By doing so, the continuous validity of the calibration is ensured
without the need to carry out external recalibration using bottled
test gases or reference gas cells.

LDS 6
General information
Influences on the measurement
Maintenance and fault messages
Dust load
LDS 6 outputs different warnings via relays:

Need for maintenance (measured value is not influenced)
Operating error (measured value might be influenced)
As long as the laser beam is able to generate a suitable detector

signal, the dust load of the process gases does not influence the
analytical result. By applying a dynamic background correction,
measurements can be carried out without any negative impact.
Under good conditions, particle densities up to 100 g/Nm3 can
be handled by the LDS 6. Varying dust loads are compensated
by scanning the laser over the gas absorption line and the current background. At a scan position next to the absorption line,
the instrument can "see" only absorption caused by the dust load
where at the line center the signal is composed of the molecular
absorption and the continuous, unspecific background absorption. With the wavelength modulation technique, the actual measured transmission is always compared with the baseline. After
signal processing, phase-sensitive application delivers a signal
only from the molecular line free of background.
The influence of a high dust load is complex and depends on the
path length and particle size. The optical damping increases at
longer path lengths. Smaller particles also have a large influence
on the optical damping. With a combination of high dust load,
long path length and small particle size, the technical support at
Siemens should be consulted.
Temperature
The temperature influence on the absorption line strength is
compensated by a correction factor determined during calibration. A temperature signal can be fed into the instrument from an
external temperature sensor. This signal is then used to correct
the influence of the temperature on the observed line strength. If
the temperature of the sample gas remains constant, it is alternatively possible to carry out a static correction using a preset
value.
At high process gas temperatures, generally from approximately
1 000 C, there may be noticeable broadband IR radiation of gas
and dust, or flames may occasionally occur in the measurement
path. An additional optical bandpass filter can be set upstream
of the detector to protect it and prevent saturation by the strong
background radiation.
Pressure
The gas pressure can affect the line shape of the molecular absorption line. LDS 6 uses a special algorithm to adapt the line
shape. Additionally, an external pressure signal can be fed to the
instrument to provide complete compensation for the pressure
influence including the density effect.
Cross-interferences
Since LDS 6 derives its signal from a single fully resolved molecular absorption line, cross-interferences with other gases are
quite unlikely. LDS 6 is therefore able to measure the desired gas
components very selectively. In special cases, the composition
of the process gas might have an influence on the shape of the
absorption line features. This influence is compensated by analyzing the full shape of the detected signal curve applying specific algorithms.
Optical path length
The absorption values analyzed by the LDS 6 are typically small.
As a result of Beer-Lamberts law, the absorption of laser light depends on the optical path length within the gas. Therefore, the
precision in determining the effective optical path length in the
process might limit the overall precision of the measurement.
As the sensor openings toward the process normally need to be
purged to keep them clean over a long period of time, the thickness of the mixing zone between the purging medium and the
process gas and its concentration distribution need to be considered. In a typical in-situ installation with some meters of path,
the influence of the purging gas on the effective path length can
be neglected.
Path length and dust load are mutually influencing: the higher
the dust load in the process, the shorter the max. possible path
length.

The following table lists the measuring conditions for standard

applications. The listed values for the measuring range and detection limit (DL) are only approximate values. The exact values
at the respective measuring point depend on the totality of all influencing variables and can be determined by Siemens for the

Cross-duct sensor CD 6
Overview
Cross-duct sensors CD 6 and cables for non-Ex applications
The standard cross-duct sensor consists of a transmitter unit
and a receiver unit with the same dimensions. The transmitter
unit provides a connector for the fiber-optic cable. The laser light
is transmitted through this cable. The receiver unit contains a
photodetector and an electronics PCB, and is connected to the
transmitter unit by a sensor cable.
Purging with increased flow

Through omission of needle valve. This type of purging is selected in crude gas applications with higher concentrations of particles and/or condensation such as in non-purified flue gases in
combustion plants, ... . The purging gas flow is typically set between 200 and 500 l/min on each sensor head depending on the
input pressure of the purging medium.
The sensors are mounted onto flanges. The easiest way to avoid
condensation and dust deposits on the sensor windows is to
purge them, e.g. with instrument air. Purging must be selected
depending on the application. The cross-duct sensors can
therefore be configured for the respective situation. The application reference table provides recommendations for suitable purging with standard applications.
If a component is to be measured which is also present in
measurable quantities in the purging medium - such as oxygen
or moisture - it is necessary to use purging gases such as nitrogen, superheated process steam or similar. In such cases it is
usually also necessary to purge the sensor heads, since the ambient air must also be displaced here out of the laser beam path.
A differentiation is therefore made between purging on the process side and purging on the sensor side.
Note: For measurement of O2 at gas temperatures above
600 C, it may also be possible to tolerate air as the purging medium since its influence on the measurement can be compensated. In contrast to this, the combination O2/temperature always
requires O2-free purging.
Applications with oxygen (high-pressure)
For oxygen measurements with a higher process gas pressure
(1 to 5 bar), the sensor CD 6 can be used together with a suitable
window flange as process connection. This window flange is
also available in the standard sizes DN 65/PN 6, DN 80/PN 16 or
ANSI 4"/150 lbs. The optical surface to the process is made of
borosilicate glass. Flanges can be equipped with window purging, but without purging tubes. Possible purge modes for the
window flanges are "A-C" (no purging or moderate purging on
the process side). Window flanges are tested for leakage before
delivery using overpressure, and show leakage rates of less
than 10-5 mbarl/s.
3
Increased purging on process side
Purging with high flow

Through use of air blower or dry process steam. Connectors with
hose adapters are included in the delivery. An additional Swagelok adapter must be ordered if a high flow of steam or instrument
air purging is required (option A27). This type of purging is selected in crude gas applications with very high concentrations of
particles and/or condensation such as in the furnaces of combustion plants. If instrument air is not available, an air blower is
also an alternative for purging in applications with lower demands. On the process side, dry steam can be used as the inert
purging gas instead of nitrogen. The purging gas flow is automatically set between 500 and <1 000 l/min on each sensor head
depending on the purging air blower or the steam pressure.
For ordering this application, the MLFB code of the central unit
with the application code "P" must be selected. The process interface suitable for the sensors can be chosen by selection of
the corresponding code in the 6th configurable position of the
MLFB number.
The most important sensor purging configurations are presented
below:
Purging with moderate flow
Is selected for pure gas applications, such as emission monitoring, inerting monitoring, ... . The purging gas flow can be adjusted between 0 and approx. 120 l/min at each sensor head using
a needle valve (included in delivery).
Increased purging on process side, with hose connection adapter
Purging on sensor side

Can be combined with any purging mode on the process side,
and is always selected if the ambient air must never have an influence on the measurement. The volumes within the sensor
head are then continuously purged with an O2-free gas. Allowed
purging gases are nitrogen or carbon dioxide. The flow of purging gas required in this case is approx. 1 to 6 l/min and is set
using a needle valve (included in delivery). The combination
shown here of purging with superheated process steam on the
process side and with nitrogen from a compressed gas bottle on
the sensor side may satisfy the necessity for O2-free purging
e.g. also in combustion plants with boilers without own nitrogen
network.
Moderate purging on process side
Siemens PA 01 2011
3/21
Siemens AG 2010

LDS 6
Note
With purging on the process side, it may be necessary to use
non-return valves to ensure no process gas can enter the purging gas line in the event of failure of the purging gas supply.
This applies especially in the case of cascaded process and
sensor purging where there is otherwise the danger that, for example, corrosive process gases could enter the sensor enclosure.
The purging media used on the process side flow through purging gas tubes into the process gas stream. The tubes extend a
few centimeters into the process area, and usually provide a flow
from the side. This results in a wedge being generated in the inlet zone of the purging gas. The effective measuring path in the
process gas is therefore well-defined as the distance between
the ends of the two purging gas inlet tubes.

Flow cell (available on special application)
Verification of calibration
For implementation of measuring configurations with bypass

mode. The cell consists of a stainless steel tube whose internal
surfaces are coated with PTFE to minimize surface effects. With
an effective measuring path of 1 m, the inner volume is only 1.2 l,
and fast gas displacement times can therefore be achieved. The
flow of sample gas can be from the ends or from the center of
the tube, since appropriate 6 mm joints are present here. The
flow cell can be ordered in four configurations:

The influence of dust is very complex and depends on the path

length and particle size. The optical damping increases exponentially at longer path lengths.
Smaller particles also have a
large influence on the optical
damping. With high dust load,
long path length and small particle size, the technical support at
Siemens should be consulted.

More information
LDS 6 does not contain parts subject to wear, but some parts
within the sensors might be stressed. For this reason it is recommended for demanding applications to keep window modules
and detector electronics on stock (quantities stated per measuring point, i.e. per sensor pair).
